Covering all parts of the globe and producing some of the greatest Rock/blues albums of the 60's, 70's and the 80's. Sadly we lost Rory on Jun 14th 1995, to his devoted fans and followers, this was the ultimate tragedy. Band of friends is the band!

GEORGE THOROGOOD has a theory. In any field, especially the arts, there are always two things 'genius' and 'very clever'. There's no in-between. You're either a genius or very clever. I'm going to throw out two names at you. John Lennon--genius, right? And Mick Jagger? Very clever. See what I'm saying? I'll give you another example. Einstein--genius. And George Thorogood--very clever.

But it didn't take long before Carl started getting itchy feet (fingers)! He was soon seeking a new band and found himself a tight and steady rhythm section "The Delta Voodoo Kings" With his new band Carl has been continuing to tear up the floorboards throughout the European blues circuit.

The Hoax: Hugh Coltman (vocals and harmonica) Jesse Davey (lead and rhythm guitar) Jon Amor (lead and rhythm guitar) Robin Davey (bass) Mark Barrett (drums)
